Reactions from Family and Residents
The convoy of trucks stopped briefly after the incident, but then continued its journey without providing further assistance. The atmosphere became even more tense when Ani Maryati's husband arrived at the scene. He cried hysterically while shouting "Allahu Akbar!" repeatedly and collapsed, unable to bear seeing his wife's body lying in a pool of blood on the side of the road, a scene that made the surrounding residents panic and feel touched.
Handling by Authorities
Police from the Traffic Accident Unit of the West Jakarta Metro Police, together with the Military Police Detachment (Denpom/POM) of the TNI, jointly processed the crime scene (TKP). Officers examined tire tracks, vehicle positions, collected witness statements including Firman's, and requested CCTV footage around the location. The body was evacuated to Tangerang Regional General Hospital for a *visum et repertum*. Currently, the case is still being handled as a general traffic accident, but it can be fully transferred to the TNI Denpom if it is proven to involve official vehicles.
Legal Analysis
From a legal aspect, the truck driver potentially faces charges under Article 311 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (negligence causing death) *jo* Article 310 of the Criminal Code, as well as Article 77 and Article 310 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, which prohibits speeding in densely populated residential areas. TNI personnel involved will first be examined by the TNI POM based on Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts. If proven, the process can be continued to the Military Court or the District Court after coordination. Similar cases have occurred, such as the decision of the South Jakarta District Court in 2022 which sentenced the driver of an official vehicle for negligence causing death, with a prison sentence and compensation obligations.
